         Sorry Cas, but the Nazis were actively destroying established religion in germany and were in the process of growing a new german religion with Hitler as their messiah.  One of the first things Hitler did when he took power was to weaken and destroy the Catholic political parties.  Do your homework.

                           You're right, the popes did not stand up to Hitler or Mussolini. That is a source of everlasting shame. But it's not the same as saying that Hitler was a Christian.
                           
                           By the way, did you know that Hitler visited one prominent Muslim leader who actually did sign on to his vision of getting rid of the Jews?

                                       The first response to this forum question was:
                                       'Since Hitler was born and died a Catholic, you could say Hitler was a follower of Jesus and same for little hitler Bush' was by Castlepaloma, then the fourth line, by mr montgomerey reads:
                                       The Nazis and Catholics worked hand-in-hand in exterminating their common enemy.  Do your homework.
                                       etc until we get here.
                                       I read that both of them think that the catholic church may have aided and abetted hitler, and I read that both of them think that hitler was catholic. 
                                       If I am reading something into what mr montgomerey said, it is because he is alternating between saying something concrete and saying something vague.  I guess he thinks it makes him sound like he knows more than he really does. You can't imply things and then act surprised when someone calls you on it.
                                       Anyway Casgil, I think mr montgomerey can speak for himself, unless you have something to add to the discussion...

                           Is that a serious question?
                           
                           The swastika actually came from the Hindu religion. Hitler appropriated it because he like the look. It is now, for better or worse, permanently associated with Nazism. That it was a sign of good luck is meaningless now.
                           
                           Crispin Mills, son of actress Haley Mills, leader of Kula Shaker and devotee of Eastern religion, got himself into trouble a while back because he wanted to help reclaim the swastika from Nazism. He underestimated the extent to which it is embedded in people's consciousness as part and parcel of it.
                           
                           What exactly does that have to do with my point?

         Hitler hated Christianity, had the Bible rewritten for a nazi perspective and had drafted legislation to destroy Christian churches.
         
         I've gotten into this discussion before, and although I don't want to argue just for arguments sake, with only rare exceptions my experience has been that the only people who seriously posit that Hitler was a Christian are people who really don't think much of Christianity.

      You said it. I find it sad that anybody needs so badly to equate Hitler and Jesus.
